also, have you set up the counter min and max values in the Controller
settings, under the counters tab?
Does the MIDI monitor show anything?
EDIT - after a little search, looks like m:c expects program change msg. on a specific channel - have you set this to MIDI CH1?
I know you’ve said CH1
But is that the channel for PCH or the normal MIDI in? (p44 in the manual)
this thread might help:
Try “toggle mode ON” in editor…
@NTM
Any luck?
Mine arrived this morning. This is no dig at Morningstar, I think they’ve done a great job. But fuck me I hate midi and programming things. It’s everything I hate about making music lol. I do this for fun and a bit of a release - this just feels like work. Shit work with no pay. Anyway, rant over. I’ll take a look at making it work with my OT later. Blooper took way longer than it should have.
OK, got OT working with pattern changes… Looking at MC manual you need to set PCH IN first:
Then
Then in Morningstar Editor set a preset to go up (on the channel you picked for PCH IN - My OT Auto Channel is on 11):
and for down:
Make sure the "slot’ is the same on each. Start at “0” and end at “15” to give you 16 patterns to flip between. If you go further (on the OT at least), you can set to go from “0” (Bank A, PTN 1) then “16” would go to Bank B, PTN 1)
Let me know how you get on…
My brother…thanks for your help.
It worked with the suggestion to set the counters.
Thank you ! I would have no idea to look in there…
Had a quick jam just now and then…it stopped working again…
The counters got reset somehow…on the software it was 1-96 and on the MC8 it showed 2-97 and it wouldn’t change patterns.
I freaked out because I changed on of the patterns length on the MS to x2 and then it stopped working and I thought that it would only recognise patterns of x1 (I think this is a feature only on MS).
I set it up like this with the number scroll. More work to be done to allocate things properly and make the most of the MC8 but at least can play a bit now…will make a post with all the information for anybody’s future reference…
Thank you @brucegill, @sezare56, @samvanlan, @avantronica, @Aksdnt, @InTheAM. When you are in London, UK let me know, I am buying drinks!
Yay!!!
Great! Pleased you got it working.
And thanks, I tried it your way and set a counter up and now I have Patern up and down like yours with a Number Scroll and auto named with the correct Pattern number
I’d love to do the same for scrolling through active tracks on the OPT but thats a Note On action sending a Note Number - So I don’t think it could auto namer the track number, but would name the note?! I think hahah.
